I like the idea of the IndieWeb, but I'm also a big believer in discretion-oriented sharing. People don't just walk out on the street and start yelling facts and opinions at each other. They target their message for the audience. And if the audience is everyone, then the message tends to suffer.
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't really see myself participating much until I can control who sees what information. I'd like sharing photos of my family with family and friends. I don't care to post them publicly. I like discussing politics... with people who can handle a political discussion without hurt feelings or pointless bickering.
The IndieWeb makes a lot of sense for public conversation, though. If I were into blogging, writing, or otherwise producing content as a job or serious hobby, I'd be all over it.
